Summary

At RTC we offer courses for children and adults in languages, music and the fine arts.

The language needs of the multinational business community of Dubai are quite different to those of other language students. For Dubai’s expatriates, it is a real challenge today to devote enough time to language studies outside of working hours. At the same time, knowledge of a foreign language is an advantage for those who come to live and work in multi-national environment of Dubai.
While non-working spouses are happy to spend their days in the classroom, the situation is not so straightforward for a high-powered executive with a busy schedule. This is why we have developed courses with less time spent on grammar and more time spent speaking and understanding the language.
RTC also runs separate preparatory courses for Russian-speaking school-children living in the UAE who are about to enter an English-language school. We offer courses which help children adapt to the new environment quickly and acquaint themselves with the necessary vocabulary.

We offer citizens of Russia and CIS countries intensive language courses in English and Arabic with our study break scheme, where you can combine your lessons with a holiday in the United Arab Emirates. For students of Russian as a foreign language, we organise study visits to Russian universities.

All the above courses can be taken in group, mini-group or individual format with the exception of lessons on musical instruments, which are always taught individually.

For our corporate clients we offer special programmes of study, which are prepared according to the client's requirements.

Below you will find a more detailed description of the forms of study offered at RTC.
 
Group

Study in carefully selected groups is focused on the development of the student's conversational skills. At RTC, we work in small groups of 5-10 people, which enables the tutor to devote time to each student during the course of the lesson.

Standard group lessons take place 2-3 times per week on an agreed, fixed schedule. Any group lessons missed will not be refunded or rescheduled.

 
Mini-group

Mini-groups consist of 2-4 people and thus provide students with the unique opportunity of working closely with the tutor, while also being able to practise the material covered with the other students.

As with group lessons, mini-group tuition is carried out on a fixed scheduled, and any lessons missed will not be refunded or rescheduled.


 
Individual tuition

This is the ideal option for beginners. Individual tuition allows the student to quickly overcome the tricky basics of a subject and progress to a higher level.

We recommend individual tuition for our executive clients, since study times are more flexible. You have the option of postponing or rescheduling your lessons in case you are unable to attend. See RTC's terms and conditions.


 
In-company tuition

These courses take place at the client's office as individual or closed-group lessons, where groups are formed on the basis of ability tests. The schedule and content of the courses is drawn up according to the client's wishes and requirements.

In-company sessions may consist of a series of individual or group lessons with alternating participants.


 
UAE study breaks

RTC offers you the chance to combine a holiday in the UAE with a two-week intensive language course in Arabic, English or Russian with a qualified native speaker. Study breaks can be booked through our partners or through our office in Dubai.

Study in Russia

Together with our partners in Russia, RTC can organise individual or group study visits to Russian universities for students of Russian as a foreign language. This is an opportunity for intensive language practice, while allowing you to learn about Russian history, culture and traditions through a programme of excursions during your stay. We can even provide visa support and arrange accommodation in hotels or private apartments if required.
